The pic is based on the autobiography by Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, the Texas native who went from rodeo cowboy to SEAL chief with the highest number of sniper kills in U.S. military history. Grimes will play Marc Lee, a Navy SEAL who fights alongside Kyle.

Jason Hall penned the script with Eastwood, Robert Lorenz, Andrew Lazar and Cooper producing. Jon Berg is overseeing for the studio.

Anyone else find it disturbing that we will make a movie glorifying someone who “killed the most people”, when WE INVADED the nation of Iraq on FALSE pretense. No humility ? Are we that arrogant of a people now ? Kyle hid on top of buildings and shot other human beings just like a video game..so that makes him a hero ? No Hollywood actors will make a buck portraying his LIE filled book. I don’t know about this one
